What Do You Mean, That's a Child?

It was only thanks to this brute strength that Li Yuan had managed not to starve to death. Every day, he hunted in the forest near the village, occasionally running into soul beasts.

Since this was merely the outskirts of Sunset Great Forest, there were no particularly powerful soul beasts in the nearby woods. At most, there were a few century-old soul beasts.

The Tiger with Fiery Eyes and White Brow he had encountered this time was already the strongest soul beast Li Yuan had seen since coming to this world. He had put in considerable effort before finally killing the beast.

By that logic, at just six years old, he could already rival Wu Song. That seemed pretty impressive, didn't it? He just ate far too much!

Li Yuan could only comfort himself this way. In truth, if he ignored how utterly out of place he looked, his Innate Divine Strength was quite good. In terms of pure combat power, he had already surpassed the vast majority of Soul Grandmasters.

Besides, he was only six years old. Once he grew a little older, perhaps one day he might be able to beat a Titled Douluo to death with his bare hands.

Thinking of it that way, it did not seem so unacceptable.

After all, Douluo Continent was fundamentally a world where strength reigned supreme. Looking a tiny bit strange was not something he could not accept. Yeah, probably!

"Cough, cough, Xiao Yuan, put your tiger down first. I have something important to discuss with you."

While Li Yuan was lost in thought, Village Chief Duke finally managed to compose himself and put on a kindly smile.

"What is it, Grandpa Village Chief?"

Li Yuan, who had originally intended to carry the tiger home to roast, asked in confusion.

"Have you forgotten? You're already six this year. It's time for your awakening ceremony."

"Your talent should be quite good." As he spoke, Duke looked Li Yuan's burly body up and down, then the corner of his mouth began twitching again. "Well, you should be able to become a soul master."

"Today, a soul master from the Spirit Hall in the city will come down to host the awakening ceremony. Don't forget," Duke explained.

"Spirit Awakening?" Li Yuan froze for a moment, then remembered.

He was already six this year. According to the rules of Douluo Continent, one had to awaken one's spirit at this age. Li Yuan simply had not paid much attention to it before. Only after hearing the old village chief's words did he finally recall it.

Li Yuan was rather curious about Spirit Awakening. He really wanted to know what kind of spirit he would have. He only hoped it would not be too bizarre!

"Alright, I understand. Then I'll head back first, Grandpa Village Chief."

So Li Yuan agreed immediately. Then, carrying his prey over his shoulder, he headed toward his home.

An hour later, Li Yuan had finally filled his stomach and made his way to the Spirit Hall in the center of the village.

A small village like Douhun Village naturally could not have a very impressive Spirit Hall. In fact, it was just a somewhat larger house.

By the time Li Yuan arrived, seven or eight children had already gathered inside. Village Chief Duke was there as well. It seemed Li Yuan was the last to arrive.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to come earlier? Why are you so late?" When Duke saw Li Yuan strolling over at an unhurried pace, he immediately became anxious. Before Li Yuan even reached him, Duke hurried over and dragged him inside.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's beg—" At that moment, a cool voice sounded from within the room. However, before its owner could finish speaking, the voice abruptly cut off.

Seeing the broad-shouldered, powerfully built child with delicate features before her—well, he probably counted as a child—Tang Weiwei choked on her words. Then, the corner of her mouth began twitching wildly.

"What the hell is this, Village Chief Duke? Are you messing with me? This is a child?" Even Tang Weiwei's voice changed as she pointed at Li Yuan and demanded in disbelief.

As a soul master of the Spirit Hall, Tang Weiwei was not particularly old, but she had seen plenty. Yet a "child" like the one before her? Sorry, she had truly never seen one before!

You called this a child? This child looked like he weighed at least two hundred pounds!

"Well, Lord Soul Master, Li Yuan is just a little bit sturdier than normal, but he really is just a child. Yes, he's only six this year."

Duke's expression was rather strange as well, but he still took the initiative to explain.

"That's right, big sister. I'm really only six years old. I'm still just a child!" Li Yuan's crisp childish voice rang out as well.

While Tang Weiwei stared at him in shock, Li Yuan was also studying her. To his surprise, this soul master was actually a young woman not much older than a girl.

She looked to be around eighteen or nineteen and was quite pretty. On the left side of her chest was a badge engraved with swords. Three swords crossed on the badge, which meant she was likely a Soul Grandmaster.

"Heh, so it's not Su Yuntao, the famous cannon fodder from Douluo Continent. Still, this is pretty good. At least she's much easier on the eyes than Brother Tao!"

While deliberately acting cute in front of Tang Weiwei, Li Yuan could not help feeling curious about her level.

She was pretty cute. If he punched such a cute young lady, she would probably cry for a long time, right?

"Cough, cough, enough. Stop talking!" After quite a while, Tang Weiwei finally recovered from her earlier shock, though her gaze toward Li Yuan still carried obvious astonishment.

Especially after hearing Li Yuan's childish voice, Tang Weiwei felt a chill run through her heart.

She hurriedly waved at Li Yuan, telling him to shut up. With that appearance paired with that voice, he was simply Mental Pollution.

"Alright!" Li Yuan was very obedient. After all, he was still relying on her to awaken his spirit, so it was best to behave himself.

"Alright, we can begin. Stand in a line." Pretending not to have heard Li Yuan's voice, Tang Weiwei opened her bag on a nearby table and took out two items: six pitch-black round stones and a gleaming blue crystal ball.

"Come forward one by one, in order."

"Azure Fox, possess!" With a low shout, a faint azure light first emerged from the center of her brow, then traveled upward from that spot.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Weiwei's appearance changed dramatically. Her entire body seemed to grow much taller at once.
